Motion Search in TMPGENC

Been missing around a bit with the settings in TMPGENC. Anyone know what the difference is between the motion search (fast) option and highest quality (slow) one.

Its just that I can't actually see any difference in quality the motion search looks great and needless to say the big plus is that it takes almost half the time to do the encoding.

PS Isn't TMPGENC a great piece of software, when is it going to stop being a beta ie when are they going to start charging for it?

Are you encoding an MPEG file or AVI file? From what I found it doesn't matter what setting you use if you're encoding an MPEG file (obviously you will choose the "fastest" setting).

Would you believe I'm actually encoding from and AVI?

I dont use the Fastest setting. It takes me 2 hours to encode an entire DVD movie into VCD at the Highest Quality (Very Slow) setting with Floating Point and Soften Block enabled. Not to brag or anything lol

I think Motion Search is basically takes a big guess at what the fps and sync are instead of actually FULLY analizing it. So basically, its not as accurate as if u encoded at NormaL speed or higher, though I dont use it that much, Sorry I couldn't b of more help.

I don't work with AVI much, I find MPEG a LOT faster and more efficient to encode

Wow, Chris X! What kind of machine are you using?!

Lets just say, it has AMD blood
